saving movie file: vcd?

[Frank]

does anyone know if i can save a movie as vcd. It seems to save it in this
proprietary, microsoft-monoploy format, HIMAT. Can I save/convert to a vcd?

Thanks for your help

Save the movie as an avi file and then convert it using a third party program.
tmpgenc is a good one to use its free.
do a search for it on google and then go to

to find info on how to maximise its potencial.

If you need anymore help post back please.

All the best..........

Thanks stuart for your quick response.
I will try it.

I dont see an option to save as an AVI. Is "DV_AVI" the format you are
talking about?

Yes, DV-AVI is what shows as the choice and .AVI is the file extension.

thanks stuart. the avi file is going to be large and my project is only 7
minutes. seems like it is too large

thoughts??

The DV-AVI file will be large.... a 7 minute one would need 2 CDs to fit
on.... but when you do the next conversion - to MPEG1 to burn a VCD, it'll
be much smaller and easily fit. The DV-AVI file is just a stepping stone
toward where you are heading.
